Full Transcript

The failure to predict and explain the end of the Cold War from the other major IR theories at the start of the 1990s gave rise to Constructivism. The theory's main idea is that international relations is a social construct, governed by identities, ideas, norms, and discourse. Unlike realism and liberalism, constructivists view IR as dynamic and changeable. In this video, learn how ideas shape IR and global politics. ---------- Video Chapters ------------- 00:00 Introduction 01:08 Anarchy 01:51 Balance of Threat 03:02 Discourse and Identity 04:32 Norms in IR 06:32 Conclusion Website: https://www.thepoliticalaffairs.com/ Social Media: https://www.facebook.com/thepoliticalaffairs/ https://www.instagram.com/thepoliticalaffairs_/ https://twitter.com/thepoliticalaf1
